What Happens to the Brain During Trauma (and Why It Matters in Your Work)
You see, when trauma takes root in the brain, it can lead to flashbacks, dissociation, disrupted sleep and impaired focus, as well as constant feelings of blame, self-judgment, and even guilt. But . . .
When we understand the brain science of trauma, we can target treatments to help our patients heal more quickly
So it’s crucial to know what really goes on inside a traumatized brain.
Unraveling it takes a little bit of detective work, a lot of training, and a willingness to try on different perspectives . . .
. . . all while trying to help someone feel safe despite a battle going on in their own nervous system.
That’s why we’re bringing you this short, focused course . . .
How to Use Brain Science to Help Patients Accelerate Healing after Trauma
A 5-Part Mini-Course featuring Dan Siegel, MD
PART 1 – Strategies for Working with a Traumatized Brain
In the first part of this mini-course, Daniel Siegel, MD and Ruth Buczynski, PhD will walk you through what is actually going on in the brain during trauma. They’ll also get into why dissociation (one of the most disabling conditions associated with trauma) is also one of the most treatable. Here’s what else they’ll cover:
- How Age Can Affect Trauma’s Impact on the Brain
- Developmental Trauma: Why Neglect May Be Worse Than Abuse for a Child’s Brain
- The Chemical Effects of Trauma on the Brain
- Why Flashbacks Feel Like Present Experience Instead of Past Memory
- How the Links in the Brain Become Broken During Dissociation
- The Three Areas of the Brain Most Impacted by Developmental Trauma
- Epigenetics and the Effect of Trauma Across Generations
Dan is the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, Co-Director of UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, and author of Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation and The Mindful Therapist: A Clinician’s Guide to Mindsight and Neural Intergration.
The treatment of trauma is often one of our biggest challenges as practitioners. So we’ve layered this course with practical tools you can use to fully integrate these concepts into your work.
PART 2 – Synthesize Key Concepts So You Can Use Them Immediately
PART 3 – Get Concrete Strategies You Can Use Right Away to Help Patients Take Back Their Lives
In the TalkBack Session, Ron Siegel, PsyD and Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD join me to dig more deeply into how trauma affects the brain. Our job is to make yours easier by streamlining the information and making sure each point is crystal clear. We’ll examine key ideas, clarify critical concepts, and break it all down so you can gain confidence in your understanding.
PART 4 – Uncover Core Ideas and Techniques at-a-Glance So You Have a “Cheat Sheet” When You Need It Most
The QuickStart Guide will help you stay fresh and confident as you turn these insights into action. It’s an at-a-glance reference to the most powerful concepts and strategies for working with patients who have experienced trauma. We’ve gathered all the essential tools and methods into a concise, easy-to-use guide so you can quickly review and apply these ideas when you need them most.
PART 5 – Quickly Recall Crucial Details So You Can Apply Them with Confidence

[Brain] science is explaining what we encounter in our clinics . . .
I was really amazed by how Dan Siegel explained how the brain works when there is a trauma. He explained it in a simple, comprehensible manner, and it made so much sense. Science is explaining what we encounter in our clinics. It also shows how important is our work as psychotherapists. Such knowledge makes us work better.

I feel excited . . . because I understand a little bit more . . .
“Dan talked about how trauma . . . impacts brain development, and how the interaction between the different parts of the brain become impaired…This morning I feel excited . . . because I understand a little bit more…Listening to Dan and Ruth talking, and realizing where I am personally along the spectrum of trauma to health, and that it changes depending on what’s going on in my life – that’s exciting! “

The epigenetics focus was enlightening . .
“The epigenetics focus was enlightening. It reminded me of the phrase I hear and say on a regular basis: l’dor v’dor (“from generation to generation”). Everything that happens is passed from generation to generation: ancient wisdom that is now in the spotlight with science.”

Here's What Your Peers Have Experienced
“What amazing research, well presented, I loved the epigenetics aspect and think this really needs to be considered, spiritual interconnection of ancestors and its imprints on current life form. The talk back was informative and the guidance from Ruth Lanius was very apt and constructive.”
Hilary Adele, Mediation Teacher and Spiritual Energy Healer
“I enjoyed hearing Dan cover the impact that trauma may have on the brain chemistry of individuals and how trauma may affect the brain differently during certain developmental stages … he also spoke on the issues related to intergenerational trauma….. using, as examples, the offspring of individuals whose parents, grandparents…experienced the trauma of the holocaust and the potato famine…I also appreciated his position on the value of sharing this information as a means to promote empowerment when working with clients…”
Jean Robert, Psychologist/Clinical Social Worker
